2024 New York Proposal 1

New York Proposal 1 was a 2024 ballot proposal for a legislatively referred constitutional amendment to the New York Constitution called the Amendment to Protect Against Unequal Treatment, and informally known as the Equal Rights Amendment. It includes several rights in the New York State Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, with its chief purpose to preserve the right to abortion. It also adds a prohibition of discrimination on attributes such as ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or reproductive autonomy.

The amendment was approved in consecutive legislating sessions in 2022 and 2023. While the text of the amendment was determined by the legislature, the wording of the ballot proposal about the amendment went through several changes and legal challenges before the Board of Elections' draft was replaced by an Albany County Judge. In the leadup to the election, the proposal was the subject of misinformation, with false claims that it would facilitate voting by undocumented immigrants or enable children to receive gender-affirming care without parental involvement.

The proposal was approved by voters in a referendum on November 5, 2024, with 56.84% in support, 34.15% opposed, and 9.01% of votes blank or invalid. When removing the blank and invalid votes, the proposal passed with 62.47% in support and 37.53% opposed. The proposal took effect on January 1, 2025.
